PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless PureMobile sent us in the most talked about recent HTC smartphone for a review, the TyTN-II (codename "Kaiser"). We give it a whirl and of course, we can't help out ourselves by comparing it to the iPhone but also to the QTek 9100.

You are totally right. You just NEED VGA. Surfing with QVGA, reading PDF in 320X200, yeah right.
I still love my gigantic HTC Universal.

And i hope all phones will run Linux very well soon. The HTCs are on a good way.
The ability for users to build their own custom distros for phones would just amazing. ( some people do it for windows mobile atm, but without control over the source i dont really see a bright future for that )
Lets hope the google phone will push mobile linux in every respect.

QVGA is a good resolution. What you need is web sites to be more intelligent about it, like OSNews.com is. Even the iPhone is not fantastic from your point of view at 320x480. I would much prefer 640x360 or 848x480 (16:9 480p).

No, QVGA is not a good resolution even with adapted web sites. My Nokia N800 got what I consider to be a decent resolution of 800x480.

And the iPhone got Safari with "pinch -and-zoom" which somewhat compensate for the low resolution of 320x480.
Internet Explorer on Windows Mobile is laughable in comparison.

Actually, Internet Explorer on any platform is laughable in itself.
